Usui LOTTERY NUMBERS FRIDAY LOTTO JACKPOT WW ktaix i y.fi Pope John Paul II greets some of Crowds fall of predicted By NEAL RUBIN Free Press Staff Writer Theories about the sparse attendance almost outnumbered spectators Saturday for Pope John Paul II's appearances in Hamtramck and at Hart Plaza. Blame the media. Blame the message. Blame weather, location, warnings about traffic, security and parking, the short attention span of the television generation or even the pope himself. Crowds have turned out for some masses, as they did Saturday afternoon at the Silverdome.

Otherwise, John Paul's second tour of the United States has drawn unexpectedly small turnouts, with Detroit the most sluggish stop on the trip. Church officials say they don't measure success by counting noses. The pope's mere presence was a triumph for Roman Catholics, said local archdi mi jfl ---3. 3. afrA.

HARTLEYDetrolt Free Press moved slowly, extending one hand for all to grab, touching a wrinkled face with the other, stooping to kiss a girl and then a boy. At Hart Plaza, the pope noted that "Detroit is a place where work, hard daily work that privilege, duty and vocation of the human person is a truly distinctive characteristic of urban life." His instincts to touch the faithful were contained there by the bulletproof compartment that encased him 30 feet above Jefferson Avenue.

As he finished his 35-minute address on social justice, however, a children's choir stirred the unexpectedly small crowd to cheers as 20,000 gold-and-white balloons fluttered away with the final words of their song.

Disappointment was inevitable, however: The Hart Plaza crowd was about one-tenth of the half-million predicted and the throng in Hamtramck about one-fourth of the expected 200,000.

Crowd counts fell far short of expectations throughout the U.S. leg of his tour: 50,000 instead of 850,000 for the San Francisco motorcade, 300,000 instead of one million in Los Angeles, 150,000 instead of half a million at the Miami fairgrounds mass. At San Antonio, where 150,000 people were expected to cross the border from Mexico, tourist passes numbered just 3,600. At Windsor, where authorities were equipped to handle 100,000 spectators Saturday, about 500 people came to the Dieppe Park riverfront and some of them See CROWDS, Page 18A atiuAttfii. By WILLIAM J.

MITCHELL Free Press Staff Writer Greeting surprisingly small crowds in Hamtramck and Detroit, Pope John Paul II concluded his U.S. tour Saturday with a 12-hour day packed with a personal Polish welcome in Hamtramck, the outstretched hands of young and old along his route and a tumultuous reception at the Pontiac Silverdome. Determined to touch the crowd with his words as well as his presence, John Paul delivered the same straight talk Saturday that has marked his 10-day visit. Beginning his day beneath gray skies, John Paul zipped down Jos. Campau in Hamtramck too quickly to suit many of the spectators who had begun lining the spiffed-up streets Friday night.

The vote indicated that in 10 days the teachers will approve a tentative three-year contract that guarantees a 6.5 percent pay hike in the first year.
